“Agreed. There should be at least a VANITY or other warning. Looks too real. Now we’ll find people spreading this nonsense all over since they think it’s true.”

You got that right.

I like a laugh as much as the next person, but I shouldn't have to search an entire piece looking for a sarc or vanity tag. Some might say: “Hey, you should’ve known this wasn't true!” Sorry, but nowadays nothing surprises me.

I guess I was a bit harsher than I should’ve been, but it only takes a second to properly label an article as real or vanity.

Have you seen how many FRers are fooled by articles posted from certain satire authors and sites? I’ve seen the outrage generated by things that are marked with well-known satire by-lines. The wool is easily pulled over their eyes.

The Onion does a good job but they are professional snarkists.

You mean I shouldn’t have sent this thread to the Weekly World News?
